I would love to see if Denver would move Gallinari for Bargnani. Their salaries are close but I doubt they would do the deal. Their GM, Masi, probably knows Bargs too well. OKC could also use him as a scorer off the bench but I don't think they have the cap space to acquire him. Too bad, otherwise, I'd see if we could get our 1st round pick back for him.

Kevin Love reportedly re-fractured his right hand. Will be out indefinitely.

Could this injury open up a potential Bargnani/Williams trade?

I don't think so. Wolves could not trade Bargnani again until off season. Rumours are they want Gasol or Varejao. When I think Gasol or Varejao I don't think Bargnani.... unless we are playing an antonyms game.

I know I am a broken record but still hoping Raps are the 3rd team that facilitates Gasol to Minnesota.... but of late thinking it will be Milwaukee.

Yeah, I could see Boston. They need scoring badly and I think they're a team that would be willing to take a chance of him. Outside of Bradley or that rookie whatshisface there's no one on that team I'd want.

Especially Jeff Green

I wouldn't mind rolling the dice with green (provided his health concerns are behind him). He's a very skilled/versatile player, and would easily be our best SF.

His contract is a little inflated, but not too bad when compared to Amir's for example.

I actually just posted this same trade (minus the pick) in the trade forum. Completely all for it.

One I've been thinking about for a while now, and I feel is very realistic, is Bargs to Philly for Thad Young.
Numbers wise it would work as a straight up 1-for-1.

Philly gets a bit more size at the PF spot where they've been starting Young, and Toronto gets rid of a PF (a position we're completely glutted) and can move Young back to his more natural SF position (a position he's on the record as saying he'd prefer to play).

Not to mention that a teaming of Bargani and Bynum could be absolutely disgusting ..in a good way .. or bad actually, come to think of it.

I would love to see Gortat in a Raps uniform, and swapping Beasley for Bargnani brings much of the same scoring potential, and lack of any other contribution.

Based on these types of options, I would rather let Bargnani play off the bench, allow Calderon's deal to expire at the end of the season, try to move Kleiza for anything of value (or any expiring contract), continue with a centre rotation of Amir, JV, and Gray, and move forward with the current core of Lowry, Demar, ED, JV, Ross etc.
